@Morlice yes, please remove your torrent. When I release the update I will be removing all of the old links and replacing them with one new link.

@madzozs alright. if i had the device in-hand I could correct these issues much faster but I can't get ahold of any of my testers at the moment so all I can do is troubleshoot

@frod install superuser from the market and see if it works, the actual su binary may already be there and the install is just messed up.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] racedog:
I'm going to wait until the next version of this comes out. I hope the OP gets some needed sleep, he's earned it and I can wait until tomorrow to get rooted if needed.

After seeing a lot of issues people having with setting up adb I guess I should share this link... ADB For Dummies by AndroidSamurai

Even has an app to set everything up in the right spot.

This is a great thread on altering the android_winusb.inf for compatibility with Thunderbolt (adb driver).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
That's a great link to share, it helped when i was starting my knowledge of adb, the setup file works great too.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@jaskru That should cut down on the issues considerably thank you

@morlice & racedog guys don't fight. i understand it was a slow response and you missed it. keep it civil
[Thunderbolt Android Development] frodsteamin2:
@frod install superuser from the market and see if it works, the actual su binary may already be there and the install is just messed up.

I installed superuser from market, and it says I don't have root. weird. i also downloaded rom manager to double check and still no go on root. i was so close.

should i go back a step possibly? i will keep trying step 3 troubleshooting.

update: seems my device is "offline" how to get it back online is the question...?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaywan:
This works great thankz for this love it :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@frod step 3 is the one you need to focus on so don't go back a step, try unplugging your phone and plugging it back in and make sure usb debugging is on.

@jaywan thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskru:
I edited post #2 in this thread with things that might help people. If they get that deep into setting up adb they might just want to consider manual root for the learning experience... lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jiggaman508:
@dbz get some much deserved sleep lol :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@jig no can do -_- don't think it'd help anyway...

@Everyone if you're having issues with step 3 unplug your phone and make sure usb debugging is on like you had to do for step 2.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] racedog:
I see you read my post before I edited it. I think we were posting at the same time. when I read that you had removed it I edited my post. My apologies.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] ckochinsky125:
How do you know when to click step 2 and 3? Sorry i didnt see anywhere that says this.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
it tells you in the program, it should also be fairly obvious considering there's a reboot between each step.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 92slammer:
flashing now :eek:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jiggaman508:
@dbz I admire your support and although I rooted manually, I would like to say thanks for your work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 92slammer:
im with you...had a message saying update complete press power to reboot...i did, my phone just rebooted with a fresh install...i guess its the old rom...do it hit step 2 now???
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
If you have your sdcard mounted, DON'T. That's your issue.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ugadawg67:
Charge only
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
General troubleshooting: try all normal files first after installing sync. If you have 64bit windows try the 64bit file if the ones included don't work. Make sure usb debugging is on and your phone is in charge only. Do not have htc sync running. If you have completed any steps unplug/replug your phone after ensuring debugging is on. Makes sure your sdcard is fat32 formatted as well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BigMace23:
Successfully completed step one... stuck on step 2 now.. it starts to push files, but comes up with an error and says to come here. Already tried restarting the rooter program, same thing happened. What should I do now?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
1)Check the program version just to make sure it's the lates (sometimes even 1.6.3.2 was glitchy) 2) does it show a hash?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
Is there a new version coming at any point or will this be whats available for the foreseeable future?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BigMace23:
I have the latest version... tried step 2 again and this was what came up

Reading devices...

List of devices attached

HT11PS002030	device

Pushing psneuter

Pushing busybox

Pushing wpthis

Pushing hbooteng.nb0

6991368ee2deaf182048a3ed9d3c0fcb /data/local/hbooteng.nb0

Flashing hbooteng.nb0.

Pushing PG05IMG.zip..

Allow the phone to finish flashing.Choose the bootloader option and press POWER. Allow the firmware to flash by pressing VOLUME UP. When finished please reboot into Android as you will have S-OFF.

Again, after rebooting turn USB Debugging back on and unplug your phone and plug it in again and press step three. Please wait until this program tells you that you are finished.

Didn't boot into bootloader on its own... and it doesn't look like pg05img fully pushed... is it safe to kill program and try step 2 again?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@bigmace Should be safe and yeah it didn't push all the way, just don't reboot.

@cnm i'll probably be releasing another update in the next few days I want to get a few things done with this before I start on v2.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ugadawg67:
Must just be me, I have been at it so long and tried so many diff combos. I deleted everything this morning and started with your new files and then added the X64 ones. Uninstalled and reinstalled sync three times. About ready to give up. Thanks for your help though. Card is fat32 and is in charge only every time, sync is not running.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BigMace23:
Redid step 2, it booted into bootloader by itself but the pg051mg only had like 4 dots after it and it won't flash, is it safe to reboot out of bootloader or am I screwed?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@bigmace what's the size of the PG05IMG.zip file? Not the downgrader one the regular one. it should be 411,776

@uga you and bigmace seem to be having the same issue with the file pushing so you probably have similar setups. let's see if i can fix this with some info.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BigMace23:
AHHH I'm freaking out right now, why no response!?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
Word man.....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BigMace23:
402 MB... is it safe to reboot out of bootloader into android since I can't flash the pg05img?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BigMace23:
Any idea!? I'm sorry i'm freaking out right now and don't know if im safe to reboot or not
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Don't repeatedly post it won't get me to respond any faster and it's bad forum etiquette. It should be safe to reboot. For some reason windows 7 displays 2 sizes, one is 402 and one is 411 so you should have the right image. It is detecting your phone isn't it?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ugadawg67:
Same size 402
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ugadawg67:
Yes, it is detecting my phone every time since this morning, just wont push that last file for some reason :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Alright here's a question, did either of you get a "security warning" on top of the bootloader? If not you could always try placing it on the root of your sdcard (if you're on step 2) by mounting your sdcard in android then rebooting into the bootloader. I'm not entirely sure why it wouldn't push, it always has before.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ugadawg67:
I did get security warnings last night, which file first? PG05IMG or the downgrade.

2nd question, place it there and start on step two?

Thanks for sticking with us

:)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BigMace23:
Sry this is nerve wracking! But yea same here it detects the phone just wont push the file... gonna try one more time
[Thunderbolt Android Development] oneders65:
[Solution]

[Solution]

This is what I did.

1.) Flashed my phone back to Stock S-ON using this link.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1009423

when you reboot the phone make sure you wait until you get a 3G/4G signal. If you start the process of setting up your phone too quick it will cause your phone not to activate the data connection.

2.) ROOTED my phone and at each boot made sure I had 3G/4G connection before setting up phone. (Downgrade and Upgrade).

3.) This let me keep my data connection all the way through.

*Note This was posted also

Missing or Poor Data

After root you lost quality of your data connect, or lost it completely.

Solutions:

1) Try to shutdown and pull the battery, if this doesn't work more to the next solution.

2) Factory reset the device from clockwork recovery (you will still be rooted afterwards), this is data destructive.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@uga if you got a security warning you should've immediately stopped! you didn't read the link in the first post that i tell people to read before starting did you? immediately download the unroot file and flash it and start from step 1 unless you want a $700 paperweight

@bigmace have you tried both the standard files that are in the rar and the 64bit versions?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BigMace23:
Still not pushing for me.. how would I do this? Place pg05img on sdcard, then run your program step 2 until it reboots into the bootloader?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BigMace23:
I don't have 64 bit windows though
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ugadawg67:
Doesn't seem to be bricked, phone works fine, been using it on and off all day when not doing this. I did the the unroot already this morning, The bootloader is at

1.12.605.6

Think I should flash unroot again even though my bootloader is where it needs to be? What do you think about placing the file on the card and booting into hboot and updating from there?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@uga it's more involved than just putting a file on the sdcard and flashing it,otherwise there wouldn't be a need for this program. you're gonna have to run the unroot and start from step 1 to make sure everything works properly and doesn't **** up

@bigmace alright not 64 bit,then just put it on your sdcard and hope it's seen when you reboot. dont run step 2 if you do it that way it'll overwrite the file that's there. also is your card fat32?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ugadawg67:
You got it, thanks for the help
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BigMace23:
Not sure what fat32 is lol how would I check? So I just put pg05img on my sdcard, then boot into bootloader without running your step 2... wouldn't all of the necessary things being pushed in step 2 not be pushed then?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
that's what im thinking but it's worth a shot maybe the things that need to be flashed still are. doubtful but worth a try. easiest way to make sure that it's fat32 is to reformat it (you'll lose everything on it) but since you got step 1 to flash im pretty sure it is. as for the file pushing issue...this makes no sense it worked for everybody else (sometimes it took a couple tries but it still worked)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
How do I unroot?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dski165:
@dbz

running win7 64bit

have ADB+DriverX64 downloaded from link in thread

when I run adb devices it shows my phone so appears to be working but why when I start task manager does adb.exe show as a 32bit program still?

I don't want to start this and have any issues that maybe avoidable to begin with!

btw great work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BigMace23:
Well after almost 4 hours of having the **** scared out of me... I'm rooted! :D

Thanks for the program... it worked in the end:)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Huzzaahh
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dski165:
@dbz

well after just downloading the lastest version from link on OP the rooter.exe file is at Ver 1.6.3.2 not .11 should I just D/L rooter(2).zip and over write the .2 version?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@bigmace mind telling people what you did to get it to work for future reference?

@dtt there's a file linked here or just search "easy unroot" in the thunderbolt forums

@dski i have no idea but you should still be good to go. if anything comes up just post and ill troubleshoot. and yes, just replace it with the exe from the zip in the OP. It's easier to update that zip than reupload an 800MB file every time I update.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] izzaeroth:
It worked!

Everything worked. I will say that I had to close and re-run the rooter program on every step. I would run the step the first time and it would do it thing then not reboot, so I just closed it and rant it again which worked the second time. Also, on step 2 when I ran it the first time I got that error about contacting the irc chat, however I just closed and re-opened the program and ran step 2 again which worked fine. I ran the third step and let it sit for about 5 minutes before deciding to close and open again. When I ran it the second time it only took a few seconds before phone rebooted. Fixed permissions worked fine as well. I used win7 32bit laptop.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
The only step you HAVE to close it on is step 2, otherwise just hit the button again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BigMace23:
Sure if a step isn't working you just have to keep closing the program and retrying the step... it'll work eventually
[Thunderbolt Android Development] coontag:
Thx dbz ezroot worked for me. Used PDF on 70. Went exactly as planned.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corymk:
worked as planned

Thanks dbzfanatic. It worked exactly as planned. Never had any problems. Didn't even have to pull the battery once like I have had to while rooting other phones. Nicely done. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication. :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Zomb!e:
This worked great. I had to redo Step 2 because something didn't take the first time, but overall great job on this and thank you! Will be donating next pay day.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@everyone who said thanks: you're quite welcome ^_^ i enjoy programming and i specialize in automation so this was a no-brainer for me :p sorry I didn't reply individually life is kinda hectic and f*ed over right now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anthonyg2012:
think i'm in trouble.

went through all steps, said successful. auto rebooted 3 times, once at each step. deleted .img off sd. went into RomManager and failed fix permissions. went into recovery manually and fixed permissions there, said complete. DL titanium, said no root. i reset data through -settings-sd and storage- reset to log into device with another gmail acct to get my purchase apps. wiped fine then sat at android screen with !. pulled battery and got back into Clockwork recovery- wiped again- tried to restore to backup and it failed to write to system. went to reboot and it's sitting on htc boot screen now, 5 minutes or so. Is there any way to reload system at this point?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I would suggest the universal fix. Unroot and start from scratch. Also you need to flash an older version of clockwork, I included that one in case you wanted to flash a new ROM right away.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anthonyg2012:
is there a way to do that if device won't get fully booted?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yeah just put the unrooter file on your sdcard and flash it from HBOOT, it's like the emergency switch. As for the no-booting thing that's probably because you have a bad restore. If you want I can help you fix that manually just PM me your gmail, you shouldn't have to unroot and redo it if my idea works.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anthonyg2012:
That would be awesome! sending it now. Thank you so much!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dski165:
@dbz

Houston we have ROOT!!!!!!

no real issues, had to run each step twice other than that all is good

step 1 took about 8 minutes (second try)

step 2 took 10 minutes

step 3 took seconds

rebooted fixed permissions rebooted again

have question now

can I do a factory reset and still keep root? this way I can run through the account setup and what have ya and it can autcomatically restore all my apps I had!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I...have no idea. Go ahead and try and post back. The worst that will happen is you'll have to start over from step 2 (try step 3 first though after a reset).

Edit: actually the setup program should be in the app drawer so just start it and hopefully it'll work.

Edit 2: on an unrelated note just got this
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dski165:
@dbz

took your second suggestion and just re-ran setup and that ended up pulling everything back down

thanks again

will donate in a few days
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
alright, thanks in advance and glad it worked out for you ^_^

edit: this thread needs a little more humor so, to quote a famous man: "i am so smart, i am so smart, S-M-R-T. i mean S-M-A-R-T" (100 points if you can name who said that)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
Well did a clean unroot...then a full root again....no joy...

I am getting kinda concerned that maybe it is not possible for me.:confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
what's your error again? kinda lost that train of thought, is it the su permissions or...what's up?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GreginNH:
Homer Simpson
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
I cannot get s-off, still says on.......so I cannot even get to the permission area to change them.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@greg *ding* winner! 100 points!

@dtt ok what program version do you have? when you said you did a "full root" what do you mean? did all 3 steps reboot your phone and flash it twice?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
Full root = all 3 steps about 5 -6 times.

I am using 1.6.3.2

woah....the thread title is 1.6.3.11.....hmmmm
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
i'd suggest updating your exe (it's at the bottom of the first post) just to make sure. start from step 2 though if you start from step 1 you could brick.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
Ok can you explain in detail how to start from step 2? Because the end of step one is that it reboots itself...

Do you want me to reflash by powering up with (power + Vol down) reflash everything, then when done, turn on debugging again then do step 3?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
step 1 reboots itself into bootloader, step 1 isnt complete until after you flash and reboot into android. starting from step 2 just means press step 2 so you don't try to downgrade again, if you do it could be VERY bad for your phone. and you'll need to turn on debugging again anyway.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
Well, its been twelve hours since K successfully rooted and I think I've tried every Rom available to the 'bolt.

Thanks again dbz!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
again, you're welcome :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
Ok step 2 is running...bout 3 lines of dots so far

update 7 lines of dots so far....lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
alright good sign,it should go from that to maybe 5 at most
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
on 8 so far ..........
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
i'd say give i 3 more lines then kill it with task manager and restart it and run step 2 again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
reflashing now...and I see s-off!!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
glad things are finally working :) sorry for the bit of a delay I was reading up on what's going on with geohot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
ok couple of things....no 3g symbol now....

Trying to get step 3 to take....tried about 10 times!

lol

Ok got the 3 step reboot finally :)

and now the 3g is back
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rnot:
Kind of a noob here but I tried step 1 and it's not rebooting. I have debug on, charge only, wifi off, and have waited and let it sit several minutes. I've tried closing rooter.exe and retrying it but that hasn't work.

Did I miss something?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
if you have a 64bit system use those files, if not is it listing your device? also are you using the updated exe or the one included in the rar file?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rnot:
I do have 64 bit but I downloaded the x64 files and copied them over. I used the updated exe
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Htc sync drivers installed?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] infamousxsniper:
What files do I use if I have a x64 bit system?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rnot:
Yeah that was the problem. Rooter "detected" my device but not really, once I installed the htc drivers it ran but I hit the error on step 2.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jayhammy:
Hi dbz,

I tried step 1 a few times, but no luck. It shows pushing the PG05IMG.zip file with a bunch of dots after it. The phone never reboots. HTC Sync is installed. Debugging, check. USB charging, check. I'm using a Mac computer running VMWare with WinXP. I used your latest download from 3/26 and the latest rooter.exe. Help is appreciated. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lpd0084:
Worked good for me. I had to do steps 1 and 2 twice but no big deal. The only suggestions I would make is to not show the message saying ur good till it finishes running the adb commands on step 3 and reboots. And spell congratulations right ;-)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rnot:
Awesome work dbz. Had the error at step 2 and a few dumb mistakes on my part but that fixed itself during the second attempt and now I have root!!!! Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] infamousxsniper:
Where do I put the x64 bit files?

Edit: Nevermind got it working...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:

Why is it all ROM's are unstable on my phone? I am wiping every time, but whenever I turn my phone off then on, it completely locks up and is unusable and have to do a battery pull. This should not be happening. The ROM's are perfectly functional until I reboot. It isn't a root problem right?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dski165:
